Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons.

Front

What is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons, while non-polar covalent bonds involve equal sharing.
